Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

“He’s unbelievably ahead of schedule,” Carroll continued. “I watched him run last week and he was flying in his first real day of changing direction when they cut him loose. You couldn’t tell that he wasn’t fine.”

So what exactly will it take to get the running back ready for the end of the regular season?

“He just has to show that he is back to full speed and can do it and get on the practice field and away we go.”

It would be like a shot of adrenaline to have him come back and outplay Gurley in a big game. Especially heading down the home stretch of the season. Wouldn't work that way his first game back with Davis playing real solid, but it would be cool.

Very exciting news with the prospects of a Carson and Davis tandem. Realistically, could be 3 weeks til he's ready and there's no guarantee he'll have the same cutting ability, but we could be very strong heading into the playoffs if he's healthy.

Pete is definitely being coy on the timeline....but that's standard Pete Carroll. He was VERY excited about his prospects for returning. My personal feeling is that he'll come back for the last 2 weeks of the season. That should give him time to practice himself into game shape and get a few games under his belt before the playoffs.

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”

Two things come to mind. First of all, how often has Pete been right when he says a player is nearly there? and secondly, does anybody feel like we should keep giving Davis the chance to settle in and bringing Carson back if he's not fully healed could only derail everything?

Davis isn't Carson. He's a nice, sparky gadget guy, but not the workhorse we need for a deep playoff run. His ceiling is probably Thomas Rawls.

I've never seen Rawls break ankles like I watched Davis do last night. I think the kid is special, way better vision than Rawls. I personally would love to see him share time with Carson, let them compete for the job.

He still hasn't put up the numbers Rawls has. Neither has Carson, for that matter.

They're different types of backs.

That would require having the same opportunities, earlier in the season he would have been fed more, now were in a win now mode and the run is more complimentary and our line is worse then when Rawls came out, they were clicking with Reese as a FB and Rawls running, as I see it right now we have no FB on the roster and have not been running out of the I formation. Rawls really was excelling there.
